Welcome to old and new members! 

Walking boots or stout shoes, plus sensible outdoor wear are recommended. All walks are reasonably easy (5-6 miles). Please bring a packed lunch. A friendly, healthy walk in lovely areas is our aim! Members attend events at their own risk.

We normally meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays in the month, but note that the first walk is the 1st Tuesday in October.

Meet at "Wicks" car park, Dewsbury at 10.00 a.m. or go direct to the start of the walk. Transport from "Wicks" car park is available for those who do not drive. The suggested individual cost for non-drivers is indicated with each walk.
